Kyushu University
As a science student, I have realized how important it is to share our work in a way everyone can understand. When I worked at the University Cultural Center in Iran, I enjoyed writing and organizing events and we also dealt with cases of misinformation. After moving to Japan and starting my graduate studies, I tried an internship in science communication and have been volunteering for a few organizations.
In my opinion, we as students must take the lead in talking about our own research, learning to explain complex ideas simply will not only help us understand our own work better but also lead to new opportunities. I would like to share some examples of student-led initiatives and social media engagement between different cultures and suggest some ideas we can adopt.
